[jira] [Commented] (SVN-1778) [python] FileDiff broken on Windows

Daniel Sahlberg commented on SVN-1778:
--------------------------------------

r1824410 added support for running the internal Subversion diff functions (=
svn.diff.file_diff_2 and svn.diff.file_output_unified4) as long as the argu=
ment diffoptions is None (the default). Since diffoptions is passed as argu=
ments to the diff command, it seems reasonable to require the presence of d=
iff (or diff.exe) if one uses diffoptions.

> In function get_pipe, class FileDiff spawns a "diff" process, but usually=
 no
> "diff.exe" executable is available under Windows, so the FileDiff class m=
ight be
> completely non-functional on most Win installation. Maybe using Python di=
fflib
